+The GNOME canvas is an engine for structured graphics that
+offers a rich imaging model, high performance rendering, and a
+powerful, high-level API.  It offers a choice of two rendering
+back-ends, one based on Xlib for extremely fast display, and
+another based on Libart, a sophisticated, antialiased,
+alpha-compositing engine.  Applications have a choice between
+the Xlib imaging model or a superset of the PostScript imaging
+model, depending on the level of graphic sophistication
+required.

+# HOW TO EDIT THIS FILE:
+# The "handy ruler" below makes it easier to edit a package description.  Line
+# up the first '|' above the ':' following the base package name, and the '|'
+# on the right side marks the last column you can put a character in.  You must
+# make exactly 11 lines for the formatting to be correct.  It's also
+# customary to leave one space after the ':'.
